About us Visitors: 66136    
BIG TREE ARTISTS is one of the only true independent touring and management agencies left in Australia. We are home to many great and amazing artists. We believe that the artists should always be in control of their destiny and that the artist should always maintain creative control.
Without the artist, the industry does not exist.
Though we opened our doors in 2009 we have had over 20 years experience in the music industry and we pride ourselves on the ability to deliver strategic, effective and diverse touring solutions for our artists. On another note we have also been a great breeding ground for people looking for a stepping stone to gain full time work in the music industry;

  • Emma Haslam: one of our original booking agents is now working with One Louder Management. Home of Paul Kelly, Kate Miller-Heidke, Sarah Blasko etc
  • Trent Moody: straight out of TAFE from Brisbane yet another one of our young agents that has found a great opportunity with the Harbour Agency.
  • Kathy Frankowicz: though her time with us was brief her talent was quickly recognised and she too has found a great opportunity working at the Harbour Agency.
  • Clancy Bennett: will make his own mark in the industry, he started here as a booking agent and is now working with Subdivision Music and is the founder of club night ‘rabbit hole’
  • Ashley Roulston: our first admin staff. Now working for Ministry of Sound and handles the original music bookings for Rock Lily

But that is not all; we were also the original booking agency for:
  • The Medics: JJJ sweethearts with two songs on high rotation. Recently signed a deal with Warners and are now with Village Sounds.
  • Boy and Bear: No one sore them coming, but we did. 5 time Aria award winning artist and now at home with Select Music
Some of the services we provide are:
  • national and international touring (Japan)
  • artist management & consultation
  • touring promotional campaigns

Contact Persons

Dorry Kartabani - Australian Bookings & Management

It was once said to him “if you don’t harden up and get ruthless, you will never survive in the music industry” (many of the old school guard still have this mentality). However, he never listened, that was thirteen years ago, he is still here. Dorry learned that equal results can be gained by being gentle and honest. The music industry is all about who you know and the relationships you build. With these principles a lot can be achieved, tell me, what would you prefer?

Chris Sheppard- Australian Bookings

There’s two places you’ll find Chris; When he isn’t putting in the hours behind his desk he’ll be out any night of the week venue hopping around Sydney.

Constantly on the lookout for upcoming talent, he always has an ear to the ground.

Having learnt the ropes interning at various music industry institutions, he was offered an opportunity to join the Big Tree family and hasn’t looked back since.
